in a long article on the Knights of La
Dor, says: From the figures given out
lately by Powderly (not to reporters, how
ever,) it is ascertaincd that the member
ship Of the order has fallen from 1,O00,-
900 to less than 100000 within the last
fourteen months. The loss has been
steadily on the increase, while accessions
to the order have grown fewer each month.
This is attributed to its failure to carry
its end in two great struggles--that on the
Missouri Pacific and the coal handlers
strike here. The article continues: The
first DETECTION was that of the 1nterna-
tional Cigar Makers Union, which left the

Dashed to Death.

Independent: Sunday afternoon, about
5 80 o'clock, when one of the shifts work
ing in an air-shaft in the Frohner mine
quit work, they put in blast of 23 sticks
of giant powder, fired it and came to the
surface. The blast exploded and after
little time two men of the next shift
went down to work. The air from the
powder smoke was so bad that they soon
became asphyxiated, but not before they
had called for help and given the warn
ing to those above The foreman, Mr.
Albright then went down to the rescue,
but soon suffered a like fate with the
others and could not get back. Ed Joyce,
another miner, next went down into the
shaft, but before he could render any as
sistance he began to feel the effects of the
bad air and signalled to be drawn up
again. The shaft is 103 feet deep and
when the bucket was within ten feet OF
the top Joyce fell out and to the bottom
of the shaft, being instantly killed. II
is supposed that he became unconscious
from the bad air, lost his hold upon the
bucket rope and fell out. About this
time miner from Wickes, named Ditch
stranger in the camp, arrived, and he.
ing told what was the matter, heroically
volunteered to go down and try to save
the men. He went, but he too succumbed
to the poisonous gas. Nothing more was
done until the gas seemed to have sub
sided, when miner went down and tied
the four unconscious men to rope and
they were hoisted out Meanwhile DR.
Gelsthorpe had been sent for, eight miles
at Rimini. He rode the distance over the
mountain in an hour. When he arrived
two of the men had recovered conscious
ness and the other two were resuscitated
after having been in comatose state fol
three hours.

Timber for Settlers.

A recent letter from the commissioner
of the general land Office to a special
agent in Montana is Of general interest
to settlers throughout Dakota wherever
there is timber that can be cut:
SIR: Under the date of the 18th ul-
timo, you reported John d. Scar of
Glendive, Montana territory, tres
passer to the extent of ten cord of wood
cut from the public land which Sears
claimed to have cut as an actual set
tier" for domestic purposes You
state that Sears is shoemaker and has
shop and residence at Glendive, and
has family.
You are therefore instructed that you
are not expected to report cases of this
character. Your explanation of the
present report is that there are large
number Of petty trespassers whose ag-
gregate depredations are considerable,
and that it is unnecessary to resort to
public timber for fuel, because coal is
abundant and cheap Notwithstanding
this explanation, must advise you that
it is not the policy of this office and de-
partment, nor would it be credltable to
the administration, to prosecute the
citizens of the territories for taking
small quantities of wood from vacant
land for their own domestic purposes
or taking from such lands the
timber necessary for ordinary improve
ment on their claims, and not for pur-
poses of sale and speculation. While
there is no law authorizing such timber
cutting from agricultural lands in Da-
kota or Montana, and this department
has no power to grant permits to any
persons, still, in the expenditure of the
small appropriation available for the
maintenance of special agents in the
field, a reasonable discretion must be ex-
ercised in respect to the most advan-
tageous and eXpedient direction in
which that expenditure shall be made.
Trespasses upon large scale by mill
men, corporations, and others are con-
stantly brought to the attention of the
office, and you have been both generally
and specially directed to investigate
such cases.
You will hereafter devote your atten-
ton exclusively to the important cases
that are committed to you for examina-
tion, and you will in no case interfere
with settlers taking the necessary tim
ber for their own family uses.
Very respectfully,
w. A. j. SPARKS,
Commissioner

They were talking about Wizards
Last Spike celebration, when promi-
nent railroad man who was one of the
party said: "I'll tell you funny story
about an incident that occurred at that
time and it is a true story, l know.
When Willard and his family were on
their way to the Last Spike celebration
they stopped in st. Paul, as is well
known. The day before they left, Mrs.
Willard made the astounding discovery
that her baby's linen was all soiled, the
news being conveyed to her by the
nurse. Mrs. Willard laid the facts be-
fore her husband and he hastily sum-
| moned the superintendent OF the Pull
man car service in st. Paul. The stu.
| alton was stated to this latter official
and he agreed to have the baby'S linen
clean and aboard the car before the
train left. The great hamper of soiled
| linen was taken away and the Viii
lard family breathed more easily.
In due course of time their train,
followed by other trains loaded with
numerous lords, dukes, judges, generals
and other notables, started westward d
to drive the last spike. Near James
town the nurse again tremblingly ap-
preached Mrs. Willard and informed
her that the baby's linen had not been
brought on board before they left st.
Paul. CONSERVATION most profound!
Horrors of Horrors! Mr.. Willard was
informed and he summoned in hot
haste general officer of the Northern
Pacific, who was on the train. A hur-
ried consultation ensued with the result
that the general officer telegraphed
from jamestown to st. Paul, ordering
that special engine be put in readi-
ness, the hamper of baby's linen obtain
ed from the Pullman laundry and for
warded with all speed to overtake Mr..
Wizards train. It was done. Rel; IS
| of engines with steam up were furnish
| ed at the end of each division and the
linen went on it's way with all speed.
So did the baby and it was not until the
special train reached Livingston that
the last series of the Last Spike trains
were Overtaken and not until they ar
rived at Townsend that the hamper OF
linen was transferred to the baby's room
in the Willard car. In high glee the
hamper was opened by the nurse, Mr..
and Mrs. Willard looking on, and-the
linen was still dirty. The special train
that had fetched it went back to st.
Paul and baby's wardrobe had to be re-
inforced at Helena.

of Kennedys side as the doctor came up
Mason, a colored watchman, siezed Daily
who stood looking on, apparently the
most UNCONSCIOUS and self-possessed man
in the crowd. Kennedy died in five min
utes and the body was removed to the po'
lice station. Excitement arose rapidly
and the crowd grew boisterons and threat
ened to hang the murderer. Daily paid
little attention and refused to say why he
had committed the crime. Once, when
provoked by the crowd, be turned square
ly around and said, "Yes l killed him,
damn him. He is a man fifty years of
age, and apparently workingman.
At the station house he told a rambling,
incoherent story about the affair, of which
the general purport was that Kennedy
had wronged his father years ago, and Sc
cured property worth $4,000 for 5000,
and refused to make restitution. The
murdered man was about rs years old, of
an old Maryland family, and one of the
most respected citizens of Washington.
He was a grandson of Ellicott, who, at
the request of President Washington sur
veyed the ten miles square incorporated
as the District of Columbia. In 1850 and
1860 Kennedy was commissioner of the
census. He was a prominent politician
in earlier days, and an ardent adherent Of
the old whig party. For long time he
edited the Franklin, Penn, Intelligencer.
He was an intimate friend of ex-senator
Conklin, Attorney General Garland, W.
W. Corcoran, and number of other peo-
pie, for whom he acted as agent. He
leaves an unmarried daughter, Sallie Ken
nedy, a son, James Kennedy, and one
married daughter, the wife of General
Biddle, wealthy Californian. Kennedy
was man of considerable property.
